My Wife's Mother is in a Nursing Home. We were asked weeks ago if we wanted to remove her DNR paperwork because if it was left in place nothing would be done for her if she contracted the disease.
Also I would think the nursing home patient is sicker.
If you look at the following link you'll see that these nursing home deaths only counted if you died on-site in the nursing home, that means no one tried to medically rescue them. You weren't counted if you died in a hospital even if you were transported from a Nursing or Acute Facility. The in-home death rate is over 25% of New Yorks Total deaths. Shame.
